In what they hail as a “new frontier in materials,” engineers at Northeastern University have developed a new type of ceramic that can be fashioned into thin and complex shapes, opening up expansive ...

University of Chicago scientists have discovered a way to create a material that can be made like a plastic, but conducts electricity more like a metal. This could be very important as the ...

"The smaller the crystals, the bigger the possibilities." So goes one of the mottos of Fadi Abdeljawad, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Lehigh University. Abdeljawad ...

Researchers have created a new class of materials called 'glassy gels' that are very hard and difficult to break despite containing more than 50% liquid. Coupled with the fact that glassy gels are ...

Conventional antiferromagnetic materials exhibit net zero magnetization and spin-degenerate energy bands, making them incompatible with current memory technologies that rely on net magnetization. A ...

Researchers have created a new class of materials called “glassy gels” that are as hard as glassy polymers, but – if you apply enough force – can stretch up to five times their original length, rather ...
